WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
GREAT DANGER WHICH MENACEs AN UN-
SUSPICIOUS PUBLIC.

The Brompton Hospital for comsump-
tlves, in London, reports that oyer nifty
people out of every hundred consumptives,
are victims of constipated or inactive kid
neys.
Consumption is one of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in our columns
during the last eight years, that kidney
troubles are not only the cause of more
than half of the cases of consumption, but
of ninety out of every hundred other COM
mon diseases. They who have taken this
position, made their claims after elaborate
investigation, and their proof that they
have discovered specific for the terrible
and stealthy kidney diseases, which have
become so prevalent among us, is wise and
convincing.
We have recently received from them a
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising
They have challenged the medical profess
sion and science to Investigate. They have
investigated, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys; that
these inactive kidneys allow the blood to
become filled with uric acid poison; that
this uric acid poison in the blood carries
disease through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in
the system within twenty -four hours to kill
half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it requires on
ly ordinary wisdom to see the effect mac
tive kidneys must have upon the system.
Ii this poison is not removed, it ruins
every organ. If the bowels, stomach or
liver become inactive, we know it at once,
but.other organs help them out. If the kid
neys become constipated and dormant, the
warning comes later on, and often when it
is too late, because the effects are remote
from the kidneys and those organs are not
suspected to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are
unable to resist the attacks of this poison,
and the disease often takes the form of and
is treated as local affection, when in real
ity the real cause of the trouble was mac
tive kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present day
hold what was fact twenty years ago,
that kidney disease is incurable, according
to the medicines authorized by their code.
Hence, they ignore the original cause Of
disease itself, and give their attention to
useless treating of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, NOR
phine, or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with Inflammation, liberation and decay,
and the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kid
= neys. If the kidneys are diseased, the blood
soaks up this disease and takes it all
through the system. Hence it is that
Warmers safe cure, the only known specific
for kidney diseases, which is sold so largely
by all dealers, cures 90 per cent of human
ailments, because it, and it alone, is able to
maintain the natural activity of the kid
neys, and to neutralize and remove the uric
acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is mac
tivity of the kidneys, and there will be pro
duced in the system paralysis, apoplexy,
dyspepsia, consumption, heart disease,
headaches, rheumatism, pneumonia, impo-
tency, and all the nameless diseases of deli
cate women. If the poisonous matter is
separated from the blood, as fast as it is
formed, these diseases, in a majority of
cases, would not exist
1t only requires particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, passing
all through the system and becoming
lodged in different weak points, is equally
destructive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs
and other parts of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has so often been stated
In advertisements in these columns, that
the kidneys are the most important organs
in the body.
They may regard this article as an ad-
vertisement and refuse to believe it, but
that is matter over which we have no con-
troll. Careful investigation and science it.
self are proving beyond doubt that this
organ is, in fact, more important than any
other in the system as health regulator,
and as such should be closely watched, for
the least sign of disordered action.
